[edit] The Video

The video is shot in a desert in Spain.

The video tells a story about Sharon (singer of the band) asking for a lift from an old priest. He brings her home and they drink a glass of water together. Then Sharon finds out that the priest is a serial-killer who took the life of many girls. The priest uses chloroform on Sharon and drags her to the place where all the other girls are buried. As the priest drags her into a grave, while she is still alive, the other members of the band form a group of angels and defeat the "demon" with their light and the help of all the fallen victims who have become Spirit Angels. After that it's clear that the angels form a bond and are trying to get rid of the evil kind of people in the world. They start all over again with somebody else.
